Toshiba Follows Sony with OLED Plans

Hot on the heels of Sony’s OLED TV announcement on Monday, Toshiba may be attempting to one-up its rival with an even bigger OLED set of its own. Although no official press release has yet been made in Japan or the United States, a company spokesperson reports that the TVs are on their way.

Yuko Sugahara, a Toshiba representative, told PC World that the first Toshiba OLED sets are in the works and should be reaching the market by 2009. Such a late release date would put them over a year behind Sony, which has OLED sets ready to hit Japanese store shelves in December. However, according to techshout.com, Toshiba’s TV will span 30 inches, compared to Sony’s relatively small 11-inch set.

Toshiba president and CEO Atsutoshi Nishida speculated about the release of such a set back in April, but no firm plans were announced at the time. Prior to that, the company was projecting a 2015 to 2016 release for its OLED TVs.

I was skeptical of clip-style open earbuds. After trying my first pair, I don’t want to go back
No pressure, no plugged-up feeling, no fatigue. After months of all-day wear, open-air audio earclips have earned a permanent spot in my routine.
Baseus Bowie MC2 earclip earbuds.

I am not what you would call an audiophile. I don't obsess over terms like LDAC and DSEE upscaling. For me, they're just another utilitarian gadget to get the job done. Somewhere along the way, however, I stopped judging earbuds purely on how they sound and started paying closer attention to how naturally they fit into an ordinary day.

So much of this category now chases bass, noise cancellation, and a spec sheet full of features that comfort has quietly become an afterthought. I recently got a chance to try the Baseus Bowie MC2, my first pair of earclip-style earbuds. It came as a revelation for me. I picked them up from Amazon at $40, so it wasn't a big hit on my wallet either. The leap of faith, I'd say, was well worth it.
